MH-245 Daedelus - Denies The Day's DemiseThe mighty Daedelus returns with his new Mush full-length, the fifteen track dancefoor masterpiece, Daedelus Denies The Day's Demise. With a slight tweak to the formula, Daedelus' magic music box has cranked out a project of techno inspried programming infused with Brazilian Bossa Nova, complete with shakers, hand claps, congas, and other mysterious percussion. Of course, the multilayered melding of disparate sounds from far-off times that Daedelus has built a career on remain the focus of each mix. Whether the music reaches you through sweaty club speakers or the refreshing cool of headphones, it will become clear on first listen that this album could only be the production work of Daedelus.

Reviews Summary

Highly recomended - XLR8R / A record that you really should hear to believe - One Week To Live / Bleeping good - Dazed and Confused / Butt-shaking fun for electronica nerds and urban hipsters alike - DJ / Daedelus proves to be a musician's musician - Giant Robot / One might call it a modern masterpiece – Filter

The word 'eclectic' has its overuse decried almost as often as the term itself is wrongly employed. LA-based producer Daedelus, however, fits within the word's remit as snugly as a mitt in a patchwork mitten. On this follow-up to 05's splendid Exquisite Corpse he further mangles the organic folktronica templates employed by the likes of Four Tet, using hip-hop sensibilities and near-jungle bass bursts, then shoehorning in sporadic cartoon-style samples for good measure. Relax for a second and the woozy sunset atmosphere combines with craftily applied beats to commit mutiny within all your own senses. The carefree genre-skipping proves crucial: as per the instrumental majority of Denies The Day's Demise, words aren't wholly appropriate. Only repeated listens will do Daedelus justice. - Rocksound
